The seal structure of the FB Series keeps
conveyed material out, while ensuring the
solid lubricant provides lubrication, to give
its pins a good wear surface.
*Be aware that FB Series is effective against chain wear elongation, but not against roller play and other forms of bush – roller wear.

Flow ConveyorsChain runs in a sealed case and conveys loose material
Bucket ElevatorsBuckets are attached to the chains to carry material to higher locations
Slat ConveyorsSlats attached to the chains convey various materials.
Tsubaki offers a line-up of other innovative products that can help you reduce your total cost of ownership.
Bushes and rollers are specially hardened for longer chain life. Very effective on lines that cause excessive roller outer diameter wear or play, and lines where bushes wear quickly.
Tsubaki also offers a line-up of sprockets where just the teeth can be replaced, which can reduce the massive replacement costs and labor when sprockets need replacing. We can also deliver sprockets already assembled onto their shafts. Contact a Tsubaki representative for more information.

1. The W dimension on FB Series differs from other large size conveyor chains. FB Series can be used as is with RF conveyor chain sprockets, but be sure that the plates do not contact the sprocket teeth.2. Refer to the Tsubaki Large Size Conveyor Chains and Sprockets catalog for more information on attachment types and chain selection/handling.3. Sizes other than those shown above available (including inch pitches). Contact a Tsubaki representative for more information.4. Be aware that thrust loads on the chain may cause the seal to break and promote wear.5. Due to the difference in the W dimension with standard sizes, contact a Tsubaki representative regarding connecting FB Series with other chain series.6. Contact a Tsubaki representative regarding use when the operating temperature range is greater than 80°C.7. Dimensions in brackets < > in the dimensional chart above are for 300 Series stainless steel. Dimensions not in brackets are for standard steel material.
A. Lightly grease around the ends of the bushes (both sides) protruding from the end of the inner link plate on each chain formation.
C. Insert the inner link into the outer link of the chain you want to connect, taking care that the seal does not fall off or shift.D. Set a tool or hammer against the cotter pin on the T-pin side as shown in the diagram below. Fix the hammer securely on the head of the cotter pin and tap the hammer or tool on the T-pin side with the hammer to press fit the cotter pin into the link pin. Alternate tapping cotter pins (1) and (2) on both sides of the link. Tap the cotter pins so that they protrude an amount specified in the chart below.
E. Insert a T-pin and use a T-pin bending tool to bend the T-pin so that it does not fall out.
B. Attach a seal to the protruding areas of the bushes (both sides).

*Be careful that grease does not get into the inner diameters of the bushes.
*Be careful so that the seal does not fall off or shift from the impact of hammering.
*Contact a Tsubaki representative regarding our selection of chain connection tools.
*A monkey wrench can be used in place of a T-pin bending tool.

●Understand the structure and specifications of the chain that you are handling.●Before installing chain, inspect it to make sure no damage occurred during delivery.● Inspect and maintain chain and sprockets at regular intervals.●Chain strength varies by manufacturer. Only Tsubaki products should be used when chain is selected using Tsubaki catalogs. ●Minimum tensile strength refers to the failure point when the corresponding load is applied to the chain once and does not refer
to the allowable operational load.
Warranty
Caution To prevent accidents, observe the following rules.
Warning To avoid danger, observe the following rules.
For Your Safety When Using the Chain
●Do not use chain or chain accessories for any purpose other than their originally intended use.●Never perform additional work on chain. ・Do not anneal any chain parts. ・Do not clean chain with acids or alkalis. These may cause cracking. ・Never attempt to electroplate chain or chain parts. This may cause hydrogen embrittlement. ・Do not weld chain. Heating effects will cause weakening and cracking. ・When a torch is used to heat or cut chain, remove the links on each side and do not reuse them.●When replacing a worn or damaged part, do not replace just the worn or damaged part. Replace all parts with new parts.● If a material that causes hydrogen embrittlement (acid, strong alkali, battery fluid, etc.) comes in contact with the chain,
immediately stop using the chain and replace it with new chain.●When using chain in a lifting device, set up a safety barrier and do not allow anyone to go under the equipment.●Always install safety equipment (safety covers, etc.) on chain and sprockets.●Strictly observe the general guidelines listed in Section 1, Chapter 1, 2nd Edition of the Japanese Occupational Safety and
Health Regulations as well as rules and regulations concerning occupational safety and health in your region/country.●When installing, removing, inspecting, maintaining and oiling chain, ・Perform the work as instructed in the manual, catalog or other documentation that was provided with the product. ・Before starting work, turn off the power switch and take measures to prevent it from being turned on accidentally. ・Secure the chain and parts to prevent them from moving freely. ・Use a press tool or other special tools to separate or connect chain, and follow the correct procedures. ・Remove and insert pins and rivets in the correct direction. ・Wear clothing and protective gear (safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.) that are appropriate for the work. ・Only experienced personnel should perform chain replacement.
